In each of my classes, I show a slide of the actual wording of the law, then explain what it means in real life. I always say "only a lawyer, or a politician, or both could write things that sound like this."

God and the soldier we adore,
In times of danger, not before.
The danger gone, the trouble righted,
God's forgotten, the soldier slighted.

I did have a question. Now that open vary is legal, what are the provisionsame for carrying in your car? Does the gun have to be in a holster? Can I keep it on my dash board?

To be carried openly it has to be holstered in a belt holster or a shoulder holster. If it's carried otherwise, it needs to be concealed. It can be under a sweater on the dash but it can't be visible. The law does not make a distinction regarding licensed vehicle carry. MPA vehicle carry requires it be concealed regardless of how it is carries. As always, IANAL.

And this one takes you to the "New Laws" section, where in layman's terms they explain what each of the newly (at the time it was posted, following each legislative session) laws mean. As the Legislature convenes every odd-numbered year, this is a good place to bookmark & understand any changes/updates (next should be Sept 2017).http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/RSD/CHL/Le ... lation.htm
